Saturday: Nemesis Island

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how different the atmosphere changes once you cross over the causeway to Nemesis island. True, it might be the same temperature and all but just setting foot on the island can give you goosebumps.

And if you meet up with of the residents here you might attacked for no good reason.

Which, sadly, is the slogan of the local tourism board.

Dor backed up as the sword immediately went into action on its own, blocking and hacking away at Korr.

"YAY! FIGHTY TIME!" the sword sang out.

"It doesn't have to be this way," Dor protested. "I apologize for trespassing. There's no reason for bloodshed!"

Korr's only reply was a shrill cry as he parried, trying to get past the sword's guard, slashing down to try and take Dor's head right off.

Dor made a sound that sounded exactly like and "EEP" as he backed off further as the sword went to expertly block the horn and then slashing outwards in an arc to try and force Korr back.

"This is exciting!" the sword exclaimed. "I've never fought a unicorn before! All the other swords are going to be jealous."

"Only if we live through this," Dor muttered.

"Oh. Good point!" the sword said as it slashed again. "Guess I better work extra hard!"

"Please!" Dor said desperately.

Korr danced backwards. "Your sword speaks," he rumbled. "What treachery is this? What madness?" The human should be a red paste by now, not swinging a pointed stick at him.

"It's a magic sword," Dor said trying to circle around Korr in case he might be able to make a dash for it. "It's specifically made for... killing unicorns."

"Gonna Gonna Gonna kill a unicorn!" the blade sang, "Gonna Gonna Gonna get me unicorn blood!"

If Dor and Korr were purveyors of television they might recognize that the blade was singing to the theme song from the television show "Bonanza". They might even wonder how the sword knows the the theme song from Bonanza.

However chances are both didn't so the song just sounded crazy.

Korr had never seen a television, so the song merely drove him into a frothing rage.

Literally - white foam spattered his coat as he tossed his head, backing further away to rear again and scream. "Stop singing! You will not kill me, no human will kill me, wretched things that they are." If it was possible, he'd have shoved his hooves in his ears to block the sound.

Dor continued to back away as the sword slashed around dramatically.

"Bloody bloody bloody corpses!" it sang, "Gonna gonna gonna hack and slash you up!"

Not waiting for any other attempt for Korr to attack, Dor started to run away.

Korr went madder, rearing and kicking, tearing up the earth at the sound of the sword, and he slammed his horn into a tree. "I'll find you!" he screamed after Dor. "You can't hide from me!"
